When was the last time Melbourne:

- Conceded this many marks in defensive 50

- Conceded this many scores from centre clearance.

Chandler? You got to be kidding, he may have the desire but his executions ... 🤦🏻

Easily our best on ground.

I mean, seriously, he leads us for marks inside 50, goals, score involvement and metres gained, is behind only tall defenders for 1%ers, going at 75% disposal efficiency.

Has been our only clear winner on the ground.

The fence sitters to sign up as members just fell off the other side and off the cliff 🧨

Memberships numbers will drop even further with this [censored]

 

I want to see a lot of players dropped after today.

But what I really want is every single person at the club responsible for not fixing our fwd line issues that have been so glaringly obvious for just too long.

Surely that's fair.

I think those of us who pay their membership and go each week deserve a lot better than this. Much,much ,much, better.

It's hard to understand that we won a flag less than only FOUR years ago.

And how far we have fallen since we almost beat the 23 premiers and we're likely to win a flag.

I guess there are a couple of superstar midfielders that let us down and the club has done the rest.

It's a shame really. I know it's early days but I think this will be a bad marker like that Freo game when things went belly up.

I know it's not Goodys fault but I think it's alarm bells now and time to panic.... Time for a sweep for me. 

Cheers guys.

Going to be great seeing the happy clappers gloss over this performance

Disgusting and disgraceful are the two most apt words

 

It can't be overstated how pathetic our football skills are

 

Thanks for killing the team Simon


Some of these comments are absolutely absurd.

Xerri is best ruck in the comp and still on the rise. Max had one bad game against him. He doesn’t need to retire after one poor game. 
 

Langdon was a bright spot last year and he’s being asked to shift roles this year. He’s had a bad game. Doesn’t mean his career is over. 
 

Get a grip people. 


What’s happened to the Trent Rivers who was supposed to be our breakout midfielder this year? 
 

We can’t even attract any quality free agents because they know we’re a basket case due to the selfish actions of some our supposed leaders. 

I cannot wait to see what the defenders say about this performance; wet last week, I didn't have enough sleep, or their loading, spin it all you like. It’s woeful, one-paced midfield being showing up again.

Agree it's been an issue for far too long. But the absolutely lunacy and idiocy of the kicking i50 is just as bad an issue, if not worse. From seasoned, best and fairest winning midfielders. One in particular today.

Imagine the crowd next week against the Gold Coast. Glad I've got other plans

All I have to say is [censored] ‘em… they are so disinterested and making zero effort. Absolutely hopeless!!!! And that’s coming from an eternal optimist.

Yep. The lack of effort is very evident. I’m honestly a bit shocked. 
 

Dunno what’s happening within the group/club, but second game of the season and playing like this is a massive concern. 

Was there a wedding or 21st last night. Maybe fat boy slim gig. Either way our prep was terrible to put on this display. 

No need to be alarmed, we’re 3.3% above the bombers on the ladder. 

 

I’m up in level 3 with two Roos-supporting mates. Good times.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
